Tape,
thumbtacks and other supplies may be needed at the site to mount the
poster. Please bring with you what you anticipate would be appropriate.

Posters
should stimulate discussions, not necessarily require a long presentation. Use graphs,
charts and illustrations as much as possible. Minimize use of text and
lengthy tables. Your poster should be easily read from a distance of 4 ft (122
cm). Color will enhance poster readability and attractiveness.

Background color should be white or a neutral color that is easy on the eyes.

Print
a miniature version of your poster on 8.5''x11'' paper. Choose ‘Fit to
size’ under the print command, and choose letter-sized paper. If your
text is too small to read on the miniature version (from 12 inches), it
will be too small to read on the final poster. Same is true to pictures
and figures – the graphical elements of your poster should be sharp and
clear on the miniature printout. The miniature printout can also serve
as a handout to provide to interested parties during the poster session.
